Ever since the car accident that killed his twin brother, Marshall Windsor has been consumed with guilt and crippled by secrets of that fateful night. He has only one chance to make amends, to right his wrongs and set things right. He must find a Thin Space—a mythical point where the barrier between this world and the next is thin enough for a person to step through to the other side.

But, when a new girl moves into the house next door, the same house Marsh is sure holds a thin space, she may be the key—or the unraveling of all his secrets.

As they get closer to finding a thin space—and closer to each other—Marsh must decide once and for all how far he’s willing to go to right the wrongs of the living…and the dead.

When I saw this book on NG, I was immediately drawn in by
the synopsis. I like reading about alternate dimensions and I was intrigued
about the idea of a thin space- the point where one can step through from this
world to another.

Our main character is Marsh, and he definitely took some
getting used to. After tragically losing his twin brother in a car accident, Marsh
becomes desperate to track down the location of a thin space.

In fact, he is so obsessed with finding a thin space that he
shuffles around barefoot, hoping he will slip through. His thoughts are a bit
obsessive also, and he is experiencing a major disconnect with the world around
him. He does not spend time with his friends, despite their efforts to pull him
back into the group, and he does not know how to comfort and deal with his
parents.

You can’t help but feel bad for Marsh, because he is such a
broken character. There are some flashbacks in the novel where we see Marsh and
his twin before the accident and how normal of teenagers they are, and then we
are right back to Marsh and his loneliness.

However, when a new girl moves in a few houses down (where
he is convinced there is a thin space somewhere inside), he seeks her out to
try and get into her house and find it. I felt bad for Maddie, as moving to a
new town is difficult enough as it is, and she has an overbearing older brother
who is constantly trying protect her. Marsh really only uses her to get inside
her house, but once he confides in her about what he’s doing, the two form of a
strange kind of closeness, as she wants to help him find a thin space.

Watching Marsh slowly let her in and form a friendship and
later more with her is really sweet. She is quirky and chatty, but she is
genuine and wants to help Marsh.

The pacing in this book went pretty well for me once I got
into it and started understanding what was happening. We definitely have a big
twist at the end that I definitely didn’t see coming! (I’m not good at
predictions though.)
